PU honours students don't need MSc entry tests: LHC
LAHORE, Aug 31: A division bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) has
directed the Punjab University (PU) to give admission to all its BA/BSc Honours
graduates in MA/MSc without making them take the entry tests conducted by the
National Testing System (NTS). In two separate petitions filed by BA/BSc Honours
students of the PU's botany and zoology departments, the LHC ruled that it was
discrimination that some PU departments had enrolled their BA/BSc Honours
students into masters degree programmes without taking their NTS entry tests.
The petitioners' counsel, Malik Abdul Wahid, submitted that the PU had told the
petitioners in 2006 that they would be enrolled in MSc without taking the entry
tests if they secured 2.5 GPA. He said they had passed the BSc exams and
fulfilled the criteria for admission in the MSc, but the PU's Faculty of Botany
dean was forcing them to take the NTS entry tests before allowing them admission
in MSc. Wahid said that the chairmen of the departments had ordered to give the
petitioners admissions in MSc, but the deans of the departments were creating
hurdles in their admissions. They said many other departments including
chemistry and environmental sciences had enrolled their BSc graduates in master
degree classes without taking their NTS tests. They requested the court to order
the university to give them admissions without compelling them to appear in NTS
tests. Daily times
